Living on other peoples’ homes

Boavista (Porto, Portugal) – The three ‘F’ apllies to this lovely Lady: Family, friend and fan! This house on Boavista (Porto, Portugal) has many of my illustrations about the city of Porto. Starting on the left you can see «My first mountain» (showing, for instance, the Rabelo boat, a traditional Portuguese wooden cargo boat that was used for centuries to transport people and goods along the Douro River), «I’m on sale!» (showcasing the Lello Bookstore, one of the oldest in Portugal) and «I’m a pretty boy» (showing the historical Porto Tram – ‘Elétrico’ in Portuguese).

Boavista (Porto, Portugal) – In this picture, we can see «Casa da Música» living in the piano room.

Boavista (Porto, Portugal) – My illustration about Ribeira is also living in my aunt’s apartment in Boavista (the lovely Lady I mentioned earlier, the family, friend and fan from the other pictures).

Boavista (Porto, Portugal) – This one, about the Porto Wine, is called «Yes, you may fill (my glass)».

Matosinhos (Porto, Portugal) – The illustration «My first mountain» showcasing Porto Rabelo boat and one of the seven bridges that crosses the river Douro is living in Matosinhos. It’s interesting to see how the colour of a wall can change our understanding of an illustration.

Heerenveen (Netherlands) – This illustration, about Ribeira do Porto, is my most travelled. This one is living in Heerenveen.

Texas (USA) – Never thought this could happen but my illustration about Ribeira do Porto went to live in Texas.

Drachten (Netherlands) -This illustration, about Ribeira do Porto, went to live to Drachten! So happy to see it on other peoples’ homes.
